So I thought I'd share . My girlfriend enters. These Streets Alive. Competitions and this year are Maple Masterpieces there are 50 of these done downtown órillia. Where they have been done by various artists. Two sides to them. So when bernie decided to add lights to showcase the stained glass she returned to a steampunk look to help mask the wiring. You'll notice on the top. Two little towers about an inch high. These are actually coil stops cut in half that block street light at night so the solar lights can activate. You never know what all those old parts might get used forIMG_20170705_2153008.jpg IMG_20170706_0928071.jpg

I got to see this piece first-hand at Singlezero's shop last night. It's amazing. The detail is unbelievable. The amount of thought that went into the content blew my mind.

@singlezero: As I said last night, get this to a place where it will be seen and appreciated by a wider audience. Lobby of city hall? The post office? Not to say that sitting amongst woodrails is doing it a disservice, haha!
